CNN reported.

New York City Probation Department officials questioned former President Donald Trump about access to an additional handgun and firearms registered to him in New York ahead of his sentencing, a city official said.

The former president was convicted late last month of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon is a federal crime.

According to the official, Trump said there was a gun in Florida, believed to be one of three weapons listed on a New York City concealed carry permit.

It is a violation of federal and state law for convicted felons to own and possess firearms.

Donald Trump admitted that he broke the law. If the Justice Department applies the same standard to Trump that it applied to Hunter Biden, Donald Trump should be indicted and charged with federal gun crimes. It is not surprising that the same former president, who is accused of stealing classified documents, was illegally possessing weapons.

Trump does not need a gun. He has Secret Service protection. Did Trump think he was unique and could be a convicted felon with an illegal gun?

Please, Republicans, tell us more about how you are the party of law and order.
